Product Description

The blaptica dubia is currently hands down the most popular feeder roach in the pet trade.There is more meat compared to shell in the dubia roach than that of any other. The soft body makes it a fine choice for those that feed very small reptiles, amphibians, inverts, tropical fish or just about anything that requires live food. Their ability to produce 30 to 40 live born nymphs per female per month makes them practical as well. They need around 80 to 85 degrees to breed well, so they do require a little more heat than other species, but it is worth the effort. They do not climb smooth surfaces or fly well, so escape is difficult for them. Life outside their enclosure is not compatable for their existance , so the colonization of your home is not likely to happen. If you are in the market for an exellent feeder insect , you have found one if you buy blaptica dubia roaches!
